Sebastian & The Birthday
We drove up to my brother's house for my niece's birthday today. Sebastian had been begging to go, but on the way he started crying and fussing non-stop; his eye hurt him. When we got there we borrowed some children's Motrin and give it to him. Within an hour, he felt much better.
"I feel great!"
He fussed a lot when it was time to go, but soon after we got him into the car he started crying and fussing again. He sounded terrible (and we could tell he meant it) so on the way we stopped and grabbed some children's Tylenol meltaways. I gave him one, but it had barely started melting before he told us that he was going to throw up and spat it into a waiting plastic bag.
It was a long trip home. He cried a lot. Ten minutes before we got home he fell asleep. Teri carried him in, gave him three teaspoons of children's Motrin, and we put him to bed. He asked for me to read him a story, so I settled in next to him with The Adventures of Phunsi (note to self: I really should write a full-length review of that book, since no one else on the web has done it).
He started perking up, and suddenly told me that he was going to stay up late to watch Scooby Doo.
"Hmm..." I answered, and without a moment's thought started singing a lullaby. By the time I finished it, he was sound asleep.
Nice to know the magic still works.
